In addition to the existing side-by-side tiling modes, this commit
adds a new "maximize" tiling mode. It allows the user to maximize
their windows (in other words, tile with the edge panels) by dragging
their window to the top edge of the monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630548
A maximized window can't be resized from the screen edges (preserves
Fitts law goodness for the application), but it's still possible
to start a resize drag with alt-middle-button. Currently we just
don't let the user resize the window, while showing drag feedback;
it's more useful to let the user "break" out from the resize.
This provides a fast way to get a window partially aligned with
the screen edges - maximize, then alt-drag it out from one edge.
Behavior choices in this patch:
- You can drag out a window out of maximization in both directions -
smaller and larger. This can be potentilaly useful in multihead.
- Dragging a window in only one direction unmaximizes the window
fully, rather than leaving it in a horizontally/vertically
maximized state. This is done because the horizontally/vertically
maximzed states don't have clear visual representation and can
be confusing to the user.
- If you drag back to the maximized state after breaking out,
maximization is restored, but you can't maximize a window by
dragging to the full size if it didn't start out that way.
A new internal function meta_window_unmaximize_with_gravity() is
added for implementing this; it's a hybrid of
meta_window_unmaximize() and meta_window_resize_with_gravity().
Port of the metacity patch from Owen Taylor in bug 622517.

When dragging a window over a screen edge and dropping it there,
maximize it vertically and scale it horizontally to cover the
corresponding half of the current monitor.
Whenever a "hot area" which triggers this behavior is entered, an
indication of window's target size is displayed after a short delay
to avoid distraction when moving a window between monitors.

Add a preference /apps/mutter/general/attach_modal_dialogs. When true, instead
of having independent titlebars, modal dialogs appear attached to the titlebar
of the parent window and are moved together with the parent window.

A per-window _MUTTER_HINTS property allowing plugins to use custom hints. The
property holds a colon separated list of key=value pairs; plugin-specific keys
must be suitably namespaced, while 'mutter-' prefix is reserved for internal
Mutter use only.
This commit adds MetaWindow::mutter-hints property, and
meta_window_get_mutter_hints() accessor, as well as the internal machinery for
reading and updating of the hints.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613123
For some consumers it's significantly more convenient to be able
to directly connect to a signal on the Window to know when
Mutter is done with it, rather than having to connect to each
Workspace object (and handle workspace additions, etc.).
Similarly, add window-created which acts globally.

mutter-window.c originally grew an #include "window-private.h" for
window->override_redirect, but that was just fixed. However since
then it also ended up relying on a few other minor private bits.
To fix that, add meta_window_is_mapped, promote meta_window_toplevel_is_mapped
to public, and use the public MetaDisplay accessor.
Previously, changes to the visibility of a window could be indicated
by meta_compositor_map_window(), meta_compositor_unminimize_window(),
meta_compositor_set_window_hidden(), etc, with the exact behavior
depending on the 'live_hidden_windows' preference.
Simplify this so that visibility is controlled by:
meta_compositor_show_window()
meta_compositor_hide_window()
With an 'effect' parameter provided to indicate the appropriate
effect (CREATE/UNMINIMIZE/MINIMIZE/DESTROY/NONE.)
The map state of the window is signalled separately by:
meta_compositor_map_window()
meta_compositor_unmap_window()
And is used only to control resource handling.
Other changes:
* The desired effect on show/hide is explicitly stored in
MetaWindow, avoiding the need for the was_minimized flag.
At idle, once we calculate the window state, we pass the
effect to the compositor if it matches the new window
state, and then clear the effect to start over for future
map state changes.
* meta_compositor_switch_workspace() is called before any windows
are hidden or shown, allowing the compositor to avoid hiding
or showing an effect for windows involved in the switch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582341
* Handling of post-effect cleanups for MutterWindow are
simplified - instead of trying to do different things based
on the individual needs of different effects, we just wait until
all effects complete and sync the window state to what it
should be.
* On unmap, once we destroy the pixmap, we tell ClutterX11Pixmap
that we've done so, so it can clean up and unbind. (The
unbinding doesn't seem to be working properly because of
ClutterGLXPixmap or video driver issues.)

Mutter is a Clutter-based compositing manager. So, remove the code for
the XRender-based compositor, and make it mandatory to have XComposite,
XRender and Clutter.
Run-time support for non-composited operation is left for now.
* src/compositor/mutter/: Move files from this subdirectory into
the main compositor/ directory.
* compositor/compositor-xrender.ccompositor/compositor-xrender.h:
Remove
* include/compositor-clutter.h: Remove this stray file, it had been
replaced with compositor-mutter.h some time back.

Code:
All references in the code not related to themes, keybindings, or
GConf were changed from 'metacity' to 'mutter'. This includes, among other
things, strings, comments, the atoms used in the message protocol, and
the envvars used for debugging. The GConf schema file was reduced to
the 3 settings new to mutter.
The overall version was brought up to 2.27 to match current gnome.
Structure:
All files named '*metacity*' were renamed '*mutter*' with appropriate
changes in the automake system. Files removed are
doc/creating_themes, src/themes, doc/metacity-theme.dtd,
metacity.doap. These files will eventually end up in an external
gnome-wm-data module.
Installation location:
On the filesystem the mutter-plugindir was change from
$(libdir)/metacity/plugins/clutter to just $(libdir)/mutter/plugins.
The mutter-plugins.pc.in reflects these changes.
Note:
mutter.desktop.in and mutter-wm.desktop both continue to have
X-GNOME-WMSettingsModule=metacity set. This allows
gnome-control-center to continue using libmetacity.so for
configuration. This is fine since most the general keybindings and wm
settings are being read from /apps/metacity/* in gconf.
Make meta_window_get_icon_geometry() public, so that it can be used
to from plugins to animate windows minimizing to the correct
position.

Requiring the compositor private object to be a GObject allows the
return value of meta_window_get_compositor_private() to be used
via gobject-introspection, since the type and memory management
can be determined.
This allows a reverse mapping from MetaWindow to MutterWindow.
- Change meta_window_get/set_compositor_private to use GObject
rather than void *
- Adapt code in compositor-mutter.c to match.
property and client message. This allows client applications to request
that a fullscreen window cover more than one monitor.
* src/include/boxes.h:
* src/core/boxes.c: Add meta_rectangle_union

* src/core/window.c:
(meta_window_new_with_attrs, meta_window_free, set_net_wm_state,
meta_window_update_fullscreen_monitors, meta_window_client_message): Add
MetaWindow property to store fullscreen monitors field, update
_NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS property on windows, and handle client
message.
* src/core/atomnames.h: Add _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS atom.
* src/core/constraints.c (setup_constraint_info): If
_NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS is interesting, use the data stored in
MetaWindow::fullscreen_monitors to determine the fullscreen area instead
of the basic xinerama_info area.

The metacity core is now directly aware of override redirect windows.
- They get MetaWindows like normal windows, so mutter no longer need to special
case them. The net wm types applicable to override redirects are also
recognised.
- The original positioning/stacking semantics of metacity with respect to OR
windows are maintained, but now it's easier to synchronize the stacking
between the core and mutter.
- mutter no longer needs to manualy track UnmapNotify, MapNotify,
ReparentNotify, CreateNotify and DestroyNotify events; instead map, unmap,
add and remove events can now be consistently delivered via the
MetaCompositor callbacks.
Make MetaWindow into a GObject so that it is accessible to
gobject-introspection (also allows for signals to be added.)
Renames:
meta_window_free() => meta_window_unmanage()
meta_window_get_type() => meta_window_get_window_type()
meta_window_get_type_atom() => meta_window_get_window_type_atom()
We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.
missing files in preview commit (TODO: rebase -i and squash this later)
ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).
